[Tagging] highway=stop and highway=give_way to traffic_sign=stop and traffic_sign=give_way

[osm.tagging at thorsten.engler.id.au]

As I see it, the traffic_sign tags indicated the position of the traffic sign (if any), while the highway tags (on a node on the highway) indicate the position of the stop or give way line on the road (which may exist even in the absence of a sign) or where the line would be.

Hi!

 

I'm introducing myself. I'm yopaseopor . I'm from the Spanish and Catalan Communities of OSM. Also I have a particular interest because of the map: the traffic signs and their meaning. 

Checking the map I have found a "glitch" on my mind: The situation of highway=stop and highway=give_way. 

I see traffic_sign=city_limit or traffic_sign=maxspeed but then I see highway=stop or highway=give_way. I don't know why these two traffic signs are under the tag highway and not the tag traffic_sign itself. Do you know why? If you know it , please explain it to me. Thanks.

 

Also I wish to make a proposal to the community: "translate" all the highway=stop and highway=give_way to traffic_sign=stop and traffic_sign=give_way.

What do you think about it ? Let's start the discussion. Thanks for reading.
